The Empower Bar (from the HLS swag bag) was ok, but – like I said – compared to the AlliBar it just couldn’t compete as my snack this afternoon. The flavor was there, but the texture was off. It was a little tougher to chew and missed that sweet, melt in your mouth quality I’ve been spoiled with.

But, that’s just my two cents. To each their own.

P.S. I’m a BIG fan of the Peanut Butter Glo Bars and if that were to enter the competition I’m not sure which one would win. 😉 Perhaps another battle?

Maddie had a minor allergic reaction to one of her shots this afternoon. Her left shoulder was swollen and irritated when I got home and she would not stop scratching it! Luckily my vet is awesome and told me to bring her right in. He quickly gave her some benedryl and the swelling went down immediately.

Poor girl. She just couldn’t catch a break with shots today!

Dinner this evening was light and veggie-ful.

I roasted a parsnip, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, onion, and radishes for 20 minutes then drizzled them with some bbq sauce and cheese.

I am a big believe that bbq sauce can go on anything, but I think it works really well with roasted vegetables. I think the combination of the earthy flavors of the roasted veggies and the sweetness of the bbq sauce complement each other perfectly.

On the other side of the bowl some kale that I steamed by microwaving a bunch with a little water for about 30 seconds.

Plenty of veggies and plenty of flavors. ‘Twas one delicious meal.

Unfortunately the Pinkberry Grand Opening Party was a bust this evening.

Maddie was a champ at the vet’s office this morning. Minus a small accident involving a nervous stomach and the vet office floor – umm… sorry about that again Dr. Hart – Maddie took all her shots in stride. And left with a smile. Can you believe my baby weighed in this morning at 12.7 more »
